Sam Baker Mennonite
He was a Mennonite Came from Mexico Went to work for his uncle Out In Weslaco Building trailers hell he could build anything Anything out of metal fix any machine Praise be to Jesus For room and accord But when you are twenty-one years old You get kind of bored Staying home every night Worshiping the lord He bought a pearl snap shirt Stitched with horses and stars A handsome pair of boots Started driving past bars Where women wore short skirts Made out in cars Drank beer by the quart out of mason jars They drank beer At the county line bars Marco Polo Marco Polo Off to explore Christopher Columbus Off to find a new shore A young Mennonite walks through a bar room door It said I heart to dance On a tight t-shirt Tucked in the waist of a short short skirt She was standing at the bar Holding court A push up bra for extra support The boys fell like pigeons Fell like leaves Strong pale legs Red boots to her knees Who's to say what love is? Is it hearts and stars? Is it boots and beer the back seat of cars On the floor board There's a short short skirt Wrapped in the arms of a pearl snap shirt It's been five years Never was hard He never much thought More about the lord She just quit Going to bars They got married had kids Never was hard Got married had kids Never was hard. Who's to say what love is Is it hearts and stars Boots and beer the back seat of cars On the floor board There's a short, short skirt Wrapped in the arms of a pearl snap shirt
